The blog that used to be here is now at http://xxxxxxxx.com/.Do you wish to be redirected?

This month, we have numerous reports of blogs published using both custom domains and FTP are showing this warning, when you load them using the blogspot URL.

This is reasonable for FTP Publishing, not so for custom domain publishing.

Blogger needs to be more selective when showing this warning.

You expect to see this for blogs published by FTP. FTP Publishing is to an external server that could easily contain malicious content placed there directly, without being published through Blogger.

You do not expect to see this, nor do you want to see this, for blogs published to custom domains. Content published to custom domains is hosted on Google servers, published through Blogger, and only from Blogger blogs.

hi chuck I'm completely clueless at the moment. Is this a new problem or it's always been like this? I just noticed tonight that if someone is visiting my blogspot address it's not directing to my custom URL...wasn't sure if that was new or it's always been like that.

Both custom domain and FTP publishing let you publish to a non BlogSpot URL. With custom domain publishing, the non BlogSpot URL is hosted on a Google server, and is subject to scanning for undesirable content.

Custom domain published blogs, then should not be subject to the "Redirected URL" warning that says "This blog is not hosted by Blogger", because it is hosted by Blogger, just not BlogSpot.

FTP published blogs, however, are published to non Google servers, where you the blog owner could push any undesirable content at any time, and Google would never know. Blogs published to external servers, then, need the warning.

The fix would be to have the program that generates the "Redirected URL" interstitial be sensitive to blogs that are published to non-BlogSpot Google servers (custom domains), and to not label such blogs.

I am having this same issue as of today, February 10th, I was not having the issue yesterday. My domain is www.colleenandgreg2010.com and the links on the left hand side of the page are getting this redirect warning. Can anyone help me fix this?
